I bet it hit way North of where they thought................ hmmmmm.......... I just told the boys we need to go over to Nevady tomorrow..........

See if we hear anymore about it............

It was Random's VW bus. It blew up. Way up.

I saw something unusual in the sky.  I had forgotten about it until you brought it up.  It was an orange color, kind of like a streak of light. 

That was it Blog.

I think it must have hit in the east desert somewhere.

People down South saw it so it was probably over the Mojave Desert somewhere........

Chico, the link you offered provided great reading. It is the stuff of those provocative and scary disaster films that show up on the silver screen now and then.

While reading the paper presented there, I kept help but think of films wherein the planet suffers through devastating climatic changes at the mere approach of an asteroid before the heroes take off at the last second in spacecraft armed with a nuclear device to explode the oncoming killer mass that threatens to destroy the planet.

In the various movie versions, either the intrpid heroes are successful in their mission and return to accolades or they sadly end up intentionally crashing into the offending meteor in a spectacular atomic explosion, sacrificing their own lives to save mankind, including of course, their lovely wives and cute kids.

The linked paper seems to realistically provide the all the ingredients for such high drama.

And here we're more concerned about stupid stuff like spending millions waging wars against foreign countries, fighting domestic wars over whether gays should be married and religious wars over whether god should be on our money and on the walls of schools and other such silliness instead of important matters like planetary protection from natural disasters.

We can't even agree on the mere existence of really evident issues like global warming and other relatively simpler planetary problems we face, like figuring out how to power industry and transportation with anything other than petroleum, feeding the world, and a host of other major humanitarian and ecological concerns facing the world, but it's good to know that at least someone is thinking seriously about something really important to the survival of the world as we know it.

If I recall my doomsday trivia correctly, there is a very big rock headed toward us even as we blog. Supposed to be here 2012.

Cat, that'll be Hillary Clinton. She'll gain 75-80 pounds over the next four years.
